World of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck (World of Illusion - アイラブ ミッキー＆ドナルド - ふしぎなマジックボックス?, "World of Illusion - I Love Mickey & Donald - The Mysterious Magical Box") is a Mega Drive/Genesis video game that was produced by Sega of Japan and released in 1992.
It is a semi-sequel to the previous games that Sega produced based on Walt Disney cartoon characters. In the game, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck are sucked into a magical world, while preparing for a magic act. Now they must survive over a dozen different side-scrolling levels, in order to return home.

Hello SDA, my name is Kuin, and this happens to be one of my favorite games of all time. Some of my fondest memories of my childhood are of playing this game either alone, or with my parents or a friend.
I recently (after much practice, mind you) gained the ability to complete the game in one credit on an emulator without save states. I do indeed actually own the game, and I will be digging out my Genesis and my copy of the game this weekend.
I would like to attempt a speedrun of this game. My plan is to start with the Mickey run (much easier, imo) and then proceed to the Donald run. I (as of right now) do not have anyone who would do the co-op mode with me currently, but I may be trying to recruit someone.
For those of you who haven't played the game - Mickey, Donald, and Co-Op modes have different areas. I believe (not confirmed) that Donald has the longest route, although Co-Op has a lot of tedious rope climbing.
I've done very little research about bugs, tricks, and etc. for this run, so I'm hoping that any experts out there may have some suggestions. I will be beginning research on this shortly.
Anyway, I hope this gathers some interest. Again, this is one of my favorite games, and I'm sad to see that there isn't a speedrun of it on this website.

CURRENT STATUS
[Last Update: 4/2/11 1:27 EST]
- Refining all of Stage 1.
- Finding a way to defeat Boss 1 before he wastes time sitting around in invulnerable mode.
- Looking for another speedrun or TAS to use as reference for my route.
- Practicing Boss 3 - I currently take 3-4 damage in a winning attempt. My goal is 0-2.
DISCOVERIES
[Last Update: 4/2/11 1:28 EST]
- In Stage 1-1b and 1-2M, the flowers will not work if you are in invincibility frames.
- The time lost at the end of 1-2M if hit is actually about the same as using fireworks - although I would prefer to not get hit and not use fireworks (obviously).
- In Stage 2-3, the player will gain a lot of momentum if they run in the same direction as the moving cloud. <- (Could Be) A time saver
LIST OF LEVELS AND STATUS
Note: Statuses are subject to change if a glitch/trick is found.
Mickey
1-1 ~ Fine.
1-1b ~ Fine.
1-2M ~ Needs work towards the end, especially the horde of enemies guarding the flower.
1-3 ~ Fine. Dismounting the second spider could use work.
1-B ~ Finding a way to defeat it before it goes invincible.
2-1 ~ Relatively fine, although I have no planned route.
2-2M ~ I'm too defensive when it comes to the little fires. Working on that.
2-3 ~ Mastering the increased momentum from moving clouds, and trying riskier, but faster jumps.
2-B ~ Fine. Easiest boss in the game.
3-1 ~ Experimenting with ways to swim faster.
3-2M ~ Several issues. I take a lot of damage in the beginning, due to the falling rocks and opening/closing clams. The geysers cause me to waste time, as well.
3-3 ~ I get very defensive, similar to 2-2M. Working on memorizing the positions and timings of the blade-sharks.
3-B ~ Too much damage. There is no way for me (as of right now) to get here with full health without dying right before. Trying to reduce damage taken in this boss. This area will make or break a run.
I will continue the list as I master the earlier parts of the run.
